Virat Kohli's men, who have a 3-1 lead, head into the match on the back of a five-wicket defeat in the rain-hit fourth ODI in Johannesburg on Saturday, February 10, as South Africa maintained their unbeaten Pink Day streak by gunning down a revised 202 run-target with 2.3 overs to spare.

Missed opportunity in Johannesburg

India missed out on an opportunity to clinch an unprecedented series win after multiple breaks due to bad weather and rain affected their momentum. Despite Shikhar Dhawan's ton and Kohli's half-century, the visitors managed only 289 on the board as the middle and the lower-middle order struggled to get going after the interruptions.

Nonetheless, the focus will once again be on the wrist spinners as they will look to make a comeback in Port Elizabeth, which sports one of the slowest surfaces in South Africa. With showers predicted for the evening, the spinner may face another tough test.

On the other hand, India will also be well-served if the likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni get going in Port Elizabeth as the struggling middle-order has been a cause of concern for the visitors in the ongoing series.
